the u.s. chamber of commerce spent heavily on his behalf. when it comes to endorsements, he's about as establishment as it gets. meanwhile his main opponent was backed by rand paul, who is the biggest tea party star in america. he came to campaign for that candidate on the eve of the primary. freedom works also endorsed brannon. they talked up the grass roots nrge. for the past few years, this has been the setup for one tea party triumph after another, for one humiliating blow to the establishment after another. but not this week. thom tillis won easily on tuesday. north carolina will probably be the most closely watched senate race in america this fall. it's a pivotal state for republicans o to pick off if they're going to win back the senate. now the establishment has the candidate it wants. this time it stopped the tea party grass roots from nominating another christine o'donnell. it stopped the tea party from giving away the election to the democrats in the primary. so this was not a good week for the tea party. at least on the surface.
